4. Home Alone
As awesome and resourceful as Kevin is in this movie, it really serves as an ode to bad parenting that oddly gets swept under the rug at the end of the film. I mean, if you're so frazzled by the sheer number of crotchfruit you have running around that you can
get on a plane without one of your kids in tow, reevaluate your life choices. Yeah, Kevin takes care of himself, but he really shouldn't have to. We know that the McAllisters feel bad about their little parenting lapse. I'm not saying that it would have served them right if Kevin was hurt while they were away (maybe I am), but they really dodged a bullet on that one, and it would have been nice for there to be some consequences for their stupidity. Their eight year old had to fend off burglars by himself, and it's just sort of brushed off like all parents make mistakes. Yes, they do. Like when they let their third grader watch a horror movie and have to deal with their kids having nightmares for a month and a half. Their mistakes usually don't involve accidentally leaving a kid behind for like a week at Christmas. TWICE.
